Abstract

Specifies requirements applicable to road tankers for the transport of cryogenic liquids. The requirements in this Standard are complementary to those requirements necessary to comply with AS 2809.1-1999.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for the design and construction of road tankers for the transport of certain listed cryogenic liquids. It provides for vehicles which are specifically designed and constructed as road tankers, or which are conventional trucks provided with transportable tanks for use as tankers. It is complementary to Part 1 (i.e. AS 2809.1).
NOTES:
1 Although carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are not true cryogenic liquids according to the conventional definition (see Clause 1.6.2), they are dealt with in this Standard as a matter of convenience.
2 Tanks which are carried or towed after filling to a point of use, where they are dismounted or uncoupled before draw-off commences, e.g. portable tanks, are not considered to be tankers to be dealt with by this Standard.
